“There are very few African-American men in this country who haven’t had the experience of being followed when they were shopping in a department store.”
Barack Obama, July 2013.
Victim Joshua Chellew 36, beaten unconscious by four gang members then left in the middle of a five-lane highway where they watched as he was run over by a vehicle.
Victim Delbert Belton 88, beaten by two youths, died within hours from the injuries. Gang initiation or was it out of “boredom” as claimed by the teens.
Victim Christopher Newsom 23, after being carjacked he was stripped, bound, sodomized with an undisclosed object, raped by one of the assailants, shot in back, neck and head, finally his body was doused in fuel and set on fire…

Thank you for writing this and your service to our Republic in the Air Force defending and protecting America.
Morally responsible leaders would be “responsibly” addressing the problem of Black on Black crime, Black on White crime and White on Black crime and racism in general. The left does not seem to even recognize Black on White crime. Instead the leadership on the Left in this country seem far more intent on fanning the flames and encouraging racism, not to mention decisiveness in general. We need responsible leaders in this country that are more interested in fixing our social problems rather than making them worse in order to push their own agenda’s or bring attention to themselves.
Hi Carla, thanks for stopping by and commenting 🙂 We have a few in America that move racism Forward every chance they get like Sharpton and Jackson. President Hussein Obama II also encourages racism with statements like what he said about Martin “If I had a son, he would look like Trayvon”, that statement alone is responsible for much of the black on white violence along with Eric Holders’s blind eyes on it.
divide and conquer this is the Game plan and AND the original author of this commonly used tactic is yeppp,, sATAN whats right is wrong whats wrong is right and we better wake the f… up and i’ll say no more Butt thanks for this story very well written and really enjoyed the info reved my motor
Thanks Steve, this was a very good personal story by a good person that did not like assault on defenseless people by morons, regardless of skin color.
As a woman walking, well now wheelchair rolling, at night down a street I don’t care if the critters walking behind me are white, black or any other variety, I am going to have my alarm antenna up. I will have a hand on some type of weapon.
Likewise, more especially so since I am in a wheelchair, I would have concern if I were in an elevator. I will be honest and say if the men or man was in attire that was well more civilized in my own judgement less alarmed but I would still opt to be on the side of caution.
Respect is earned and so is trust. Both are awarded when behaviors are appropriate.
Unfortunately a class be it black men or all men they can not expect not to experience some level of caution directed at them when overwhelming evidence exist that caution is called for.
Caution does not equal racism — it is just caution.
Well said Pat, it is common sense to be aware of ones surroundings and take appropriate action concerning your security. Glad you carry a friend with you……..
